Pat-miiigi i i 4 Application filed June f/b (flaw/ 1012 it may C(NtGWZ Be it known that 1, CHARLES O. Hmumnn, 21 citizen of the United States, residing at Asher, in. the county of Pottawatoniie and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and usoful Improvements in Flows, of which the following is it specification, i'ei oi'onoe being had to tho ucoompzinyingd mvin s.

My present invention pertains to new useful improvements in plows and has its principal object tho const'uction pioi' in which the standard. pivotziiiy" zittiiohod to tint beam by means of ii novel adjusting mechanism which may ho readily manipulated to vary the angular relation 0" the stunt; mi to the beam.

member 35 is directed forwardly and downwardly With respect to the beam, having its rear terminal secured to the lower face mean s of the bolt 16. The upper terminal portions of the two bars 31 and 32 of the standard are laterally offset, as indicated at 3i and then extended upwardly in parallel spaced relation to each other, as at 38. The pivot bolt heretofore designated by the numeral 23 passes through the members 31 and 32 immediately above the offset 37. The upper terminals of the portions 37 extend to a point somewhat above the bracket plate 18 so that they may be pivotally attached by means of a bolt 39 to an l..-shaped slide plate 40. This member 40 is, as shown best in Fig. 1, disposed for sliding movement upon the bracket plate 18 and is provided in its vertical portion 41 with an opening'or aper ture, which receives the stem 42 of the adjusting screw 43. The adjusting screw 43 is threaded through the vertical arm 44 of the bracket plate 18 and is provided at its rear end with a squared stub 45, upon which a crank or handle 46 is secured by means of a nut or equivalent fastening device.

From the description thus far given, it will now be apparent that the adjusting screw 43 may be operated to either move the slide plate 40 forwardly on the bracket plate 18 or-to move it rearwardly thereon. Apparently the adjustment of the slide plate will accomplish the corresponding adjustment of the standard 11, since this member is mounted for pivotal adjustment about the bolt, as an axis. It will also be apparent that simultaneously with the adjustment of the standard, there will occur a longitudinal adjustment of the draw rod 21.

It now becomes apparent that when it is desired to adjust the standard to cause the shovel or share, which it carries, to bite a greater or less depth into the ground, such adjustment may be readily and easily accomplished by manipulation of the screw rod l3.

In order that there may be a further means for controlling the depth to which the plow share may bite into the ground, I have provided, heretofore explained, the shoe member 12. This shoe is preferably formed from a single bar of metal which is shaped to include a relatively long body bar a, and an L-shaped connecting arm 47. The hori- Zontal portion 48 of'the member 17 is disposed between the bars 31 and 32, adjacent.

to the lower terminals thereof and pivotally secured in position by means of a bolt or equivalent element, indicated at 49. In the body bar 46, is formed a slot 50, in which is secured, by a bolt or equivalent element 51, the lower terminal of a vertically disposed bar, indicated at 52. lhe upper terminal of this member 52, is provided with right angularly extending lug 53, having an opening indicated at 54:. In this opening 54, is rotatably secured-the lower end of an adjusting screw A horizontally disposed bracket bar, indicated at 56 is seated .in the rear end of the/beam 10 and is provided with a, threaded opening through which athe adjusting screw passes, in the manner best disclosed in Fig. 2. The upper terminal of the adjusting screw is provided with an integrally formed handle, indicated at 57, which is operable in an apparent manner for manipulating the adjusting screw.

The above description will now make it apparent that the adjusting screw 55 may be readily manipi ilated by the user of the plow to dispose the body bar 16 of the foot 12 at any desired an le with respect to the standard. As disc osed in dotted lines in Fig. l the adjustment of this body bar with respect to the standard, provides for the controlling of the depth to which the plow share will dig into the ground.

I now desire tof particularly point out that while 1 have provided in a plow, the angularly adjustable standard, and a shoe member, which is angularly adjustable with respect to the standard, the structural features employed in accomplishing these two ends are relatively simple and may, therefore, be easily operated and will not be likely to become broken or damaged duringthe use of the plow.

W'hilel' have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention it will be obvious that various changes in the details .of construction and in the proportions may be resorted to for carrying my invention into practice without sacrificing any of the novel features or departing from the scope of the appended claims.

What is claimed, is

1.A plow including a beam, a standard including a pair of parallel spaced plates having their upper terminals disposed on opposite sides of the beam, a supporting bar having one end fixed to the under face of the beam at the inner end thereof and its other end inclined downwardly and disposed betwecn the plates at their approximate centers, a bolt extending through the plates and the lower end of the supporting bar for pivotally mounting the standard, a draft rod carried by the beam and having one end connected to the standard, a slide plate movable over the upper face of the beam and pivotally connected to the upper terminals of the standard plates, one end of said plate being angularly disposed and provided with an opening, a bracket plate secured to the beam and arranged beneath the slide plate, and a screw rod movable in. the bracket plate and having its inner end connected with the angular-1y disposed end.

of the slide plate for adjusting said slide plate longitudinally upon the beam, Whereby the angular relation of the standard to the beam may be varied.

2.A plow including a'beam, a standard supported by the beam for pivotal movement, at ground engaging member including a relatively long body bar, an L-shaped connecting arm formed at one end thereof, the horizontal portion of said arm being pivotally connected to the standard adjacent the lower terminal thereof, a bar having pivotal connection with the body of the ground engaging member, an angular lug at the upper end of said bar, having an opening therethrough, a supporting bracket carried by the beam and arranged in alinement with the angular lug, a vertically disposed screw rod movably mounted Within said bracket and having its lower end attached to the angular lug of the bar, and a handle formed at the upper end of the screw rod for operating the same to adjust the ground engaging member with respect to the standard.

In testimony whereofI hereunto afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES O. HEMBREE.
